The Daughter Of Destiny Broke Off The Engagement? I Married Her Sister Instead.

"Why is the old man coughing again? Has my prescription become ineffective?"

"Hurry and let me go. It's also possible that the evil spirit bead has intensified and is backlashing. I must go and see, otherwise your grandfather won't be able to hold on."

Holding Qinglian's delicate hand, Chu Qianqiu walked into the shop.

Qinglian was very grateful and didn't waste any more words, leading the way.

Walking in a hurry, she introduced Chu Qianqiu to her grandfather's current condition.

Chu Qianqiu nodded when he heard and indicated that he had a way to treat it.

"But, sir, your prescription is no longer effective... What should we do?" Qinglian reminded anxiously from behind.

"Don't worry, I have a solution." Chu Qianqiu turned around, smiled and shook his head, saying that he brought something better.

...

"So it's Chu Qianqiu. I apologize for letting you see me in such a sorry state."

After seeing a familiar face, the drowsy old Qiu opened his eyes and forced a smile.

Chu Qianqiu didn't say much, just touched the old man's cold forehead with his hand to offer comfort.

At this point, he didn't beat around the bush and directly took out the evil-expelling pill from his ring, fed one to the old man's mouth, and then gave him some warm water to swallow.

Qinglian stared curiously at the thing in his hand and exclaimed when she saw that it was a pill.

"Sir, is this a pill?"

"Yes, it's an evil-expelling pill, half pill and half prescription."

"Evil-expelling pill... I've never heard of it. I'm just ignorant."

"But pills can only be possessed by major families or sects... After all, ordinary people can't afford an alchemist. Alchemists are precious."

"Chu Qianqiu, did you hire an alchemist to make this pill for my grandfather?"

"I... I don't know how to thank you."

During the conversation with Chu Qianqiu, Qinglian noticed that after her grandfather took the evil-expelling pill, his breath quickly stabilized and he fell into a deep sleep.

She could feel that her grandfather's condition was improving, so tears welled up in her eyes.

But now the most important thing was that Chu Qianqiu had done so much for her, and she really didn't know how to repay his kindness.

She understood the value of the pill. Ordinary people simply couldn't afford it. Even ordinary cultivators would treat pills as precious family heirlooms.

So how could common people afford to use pills to treat illnesses? It was too extravagant.

"It's okay, I didn't hire anyone to make pills for me, so I didn't spend much money."

"But have you ever thought that this pill was actually made by me?"

After seeing that Old Qiu's condition had stabilized, Chu Qianqiu suddenly said this.

This stunned Qinglian. She didn't expect the young master to answer like this.

"Sir, you made this pill?"

"Are you an alchemist? So young... and..."

"Yes, I did make this pill, but it's also my first attempt at making pills. Actually, I've always wanted to be an alchemist, and your grandfather's illness gave me this opportunity."

"This evil-expelling pill is specifically for treating your grandfather's illness. I hope his condition will improve... According to normal circumstances, the pill should be starting to take effect now."

Chu Qianqiu patiently answered, admitting that he knew how to make pills, which astonished Qinglian.

Then, the two of them focused on the changes in Old Qiu's body, checking if there were any improvements due to the pill.

Old Qiu's complexion was now rosy, but his brows were furrowed and his eyes were tightly shut.

It is obvious that he has already experienced the effects of the elixir and is currently struggling against the energy of the elixir and something within his body.

Chu Qianqiu infused his spiritual power into Qu Lao's body, helping to further accelerate the efficacy of the elixir.

If nothing unexpected happens, Qu Lao should now be trying to expel the bead from his body.

Although it is unclear how exactly he plans to expel it, it seems that he won't need to resort to surgery.

With these thoughts in mind, the two can only watch from the side.

Shortly after, black smoke begins to emit from Qu Lao's body, a sign that the evil energy within is being dispelled.

Then, Qu Lao suddenly spits out a mouthful of old blood, which is obviously a harmless discharge of accumulated stagnant blood in his body.

Immediately after all of these events occur, Chu Qianqiu can see a bead slowly flying out from Qu Lao's chest.

This bead is very peculiar, able to pass through a person's flesh and leave on its own.

Just as the bead is about to fully reveal itself, Chu Qianqiu reaches out and grabs it, directly taking it into his possession.

In a swift motion, he puts the bead into his storage ring, to prevent it from entering his own body later.

He no longer has the snake tooth to protect him, and he doesn't dare to gamble on whether this thing will be interested in his body and cause substantial harm.

"That thing just now, is it the one that harmed my grandfather?"

Seeing Chu Qianqiu extract a black bead from her grandfather's body, Qinglian asks cautiously.

Chu Qianqiu nods, indicating that this thing was causing trouble and absorbing a lot of her grandfather's essence blood. Now that it has been removed, her grandfather should be fine.

"The feeling of heart-devouring has disappeared..."

While the two men and women are still gazing at each other, Qu Lao, who has been unconscious, also wakes up.

He slowly regains consciousness, his complexion much healthier than before, and he no longer looks so old.

As soon as her grandfather wakes up, Qinglian immediately rushes into his arms, crying tears of joy.

Chu Qianqiu then checks Qu Lao's pulse and finds that it is stable, indicating that his body has indeed returned to normal.

"Well... I think everything should be fine now."

"Old man, you should rest well for a few days. I'll come back to check on you in a while."

Tidying up his appearance, Chu Qianqiu plans to go back and study the bead before returning to check on them in a few days.

Seeing that Chu Qianqiu is about to leave as soon as he arrives, Qinglian naturally wants to keep him and hopes that he will stay a little longer.

Qu Lao also speaks up.

He knows that his life was saved by this young man, and now that he is leaving so soon, he feels guilty.

"Young master, please don't leave just yet."

"I assume you have already taken out that bead of mine. You truly are a miraculous healer."

"Since you saved my life, I must compensate you in some way."

"My granddaughter is of marriageable age and has been staying at home to take care of me, which is a waste of her youth."

"Now that I have recovered from my serious illness, she can finally let go of her worries. I don't know if you need a concubine in your household... If you take her, it would be a way for me to repay your kindness."

"Qinglian, if your grandfather says so, are you willing to agree?"

As soon as Qu Lao, who has just regained consciousness, speaks, his first thought is to "sell" his granddaughter.

In fact, even if he didn't say it, Qinglian herself wanted to speak up.

However, she is shy and unable to say these words.

Now that her grandfather has spoken, she shyly looks at Chu Qianqiu's cheek, lowers her head, and silently agrees to everything.
